Fine art rabbits

The Staffordshire University Fine Art Show for its final-year students should be a glorious romp of creativity; and fizzing with original ideas. You're only young once!
But
for the past few years, it has been rather dull and uninspired in my
opinion. Some stuff looks very professional, yes - but flat - while the rest
is just take-it-or-leave-it. The university has also hidden the exhibtion away, off the main site, as though somehow this work doesn't fit with the smart design courses in the rest of the institution.

The work of Lisa Nash (above) did seem striking though. She is trying to grasp just how and why animals have become so central in our imaginations.The figure is holding a new-born/foetus rabbit.
